Quoting: liamdaweYeah, it's really not the best experience right now :P
A bit crude workaround is probably using the Windows version in Wine. I'll try building AGS with that X events patch re-applied to see if it helps.

Software renderer doesn't help with the mouse, and it also makes it impossible to Alt+Tab out of the game.

Oh, it started, it just takes almost 30 seconds of black screen first... The mouse lag is there.

Hm, this doesn't look very promising. I see this in the log:

I just tried to start the game (GOG version) and it simply produces black screen and nothing else.

Looks like some stuff wasn't upstreamed plus some suggest it's not even possible to fix properly without switching to SDL.

Honestly, it's 2019 and I really don't understand how this is still an issue for some games.
Next problem: serious and unplayable mouse-lag.
That's due to the fact that AGS still hasn't switched to SDL and is using Allegro windowing toolkit, which is just bad. They seriously need to use something better.

Quoting: nitroflowI find it bit visually too busy for my taste, although it looks much more toned down in the trailer compared to early days.
Also, Maldita Castilla [External Link] (very old school).
